>>>What are some suggestions for hooking up two computers to the internet through one cable modem? The computers can be networked Peer-to-Peer or whatever is best. One is Win95 and the Other is WinNT Workstation 4.0.

Install it on the Win95 machine, install network card, drivers, and TCP/IP, then go to Control Panel, Windows Setup and install Internet Connection Sharing. That will run a wizard to set up the main dial-out computer, which will have the cabele modem connection, and will create a client configuration disk for the other computer.

Yes, it can be, and in fact, it even works where there are NT Servers and Win2K servers on the LAN. I'm using ICS here at home rather than Proxy Server because I have less trouble with using IRC and NetChat via the ICS connection.
